It is noted that this company has came in bad news when they use dog in Hutch Ad."ZooZoo" is part of the latest Vodafone ad campaign, which has replaced the company's "Pug" ad campaign. PETA has raised objections in the past to the use of animals (including a parakeet and a dog) in Vodafone's (Hutch) ad campaigns.

"The latest ZooZoo ads are a refreshing change from the earlier Vodafone (Hutch) ad campaigns", says PETA Chief Functionary Anuradha Sawhney. "The popularity of this ad campaign proves that there are many creative ways to convey a message without using animals. Animals used in films are often treated as little more than props, and many suffer terribly behind the scenes."

Will Ferrari quit from F1 2010

Ferrari is a big name in Formula one Racing. But as per reports, on tuesday Ferrari has decided in a board meeting that they will quit Formula One at the end of season if the FIA adopts a budget cap for 2010.

"No F1 in 2010 if the rules do not change. Ferrari confirms its opposition to the new rules imposed by FIA and does not intend to register cars for the 2010 F1 world championship," a statement said.

The FIA want to introduce an optional 40 million pound ($60.7 million) budget cap next year to encourage new teams.Ferrari's president Luca di Montezemolo, head of the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA), has said it can create a two-tier championship that could be "fundamentally unfair and perhaps even biased".

The FIA has set a deadline of May 29 for teams wishing to compete in 2010 to enter and state whether they want a cap or not.

Ferrari, the sport's oldest and most successful team, also said to exit F1 earlier if proposals for a standard engine for all teams went ahead.Two other big names Toyota and Red Bull have already threatened not to enter coming championship unless the new rules introduced by the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) are changed.

eRoad.in :: Online Search for Bus availability

I think all of you must be knowing about eRail.in, a website launched 2 years back providing railway search in a different way with extra features. At that time it was the only website apart from Indian Railway website. So everybody has found it as a very good initiative. But soon after that so many websites have came with similar type of tools.

But in Bus search, I think they are little late. The same group of eRail.in has launched another website eRoad.in, giving information about bus availability and fares across India. This website is quite similar to their Railway website, with almost same interface which I think is very easy to use. You just need to select source and destination and choose the date. eRoad.in will show you available bus options for your root. They have facility of booking also with few partner website like redbus.in .

As soon as you submit your query it will show you result in a table with information like Travel agent name, Type of bus( Executive , Volvo, Non Ac & 2X2 etc), Departure, Arrival , Fare , available seats, details, and book . In this if you check details, it will show you boarding and drop points.

Number Portability soon in India

Coming September Indian telecom users will witness yet another feature from the Telcos – this time it’s the Number Portability!

In March this year, Syniverse Technologies and MNP Interconnection Telecom Solutions, a joint venture company by Telcordia Technologies, were awarded this license for a period of 10 years.

So what’s Number Portability?

Mobile subscribers will have an option to switch between different mobile operators to get better quality/tariff and still retain their number. "It will be a very strong weapon for the subscribers", says Sanjay Kasturia, Country Manager of Syniverse. According to Kasturia, the subscribers will benefit from the improvised service offered by the operators to retain their subscribers.

Such a service will have great impact on the already competitive telecom market. With over 370 million subscribers and growing, it’s surely

A welcome service to each subscriber of India. The service will be implemented in six months in New Delhi, Mumbai, Gujarat, and the Maharashtra circles, which is the first phase. The rest of the seven circles will be covered in the second phase.

Now you can stop complaining about the bad coverage or even a bad data tariff provided from your operator by simply changing the operator and still not fearing to lose your contacts.

Being a part of the world’s fastest growing country for telecom is always a great feeling! Let us all benefit from it and be proud subscriber.

India faced first Sukhoi crash

This is the first time in the history of Sukhoi air crafts in Indian air force (IAF) that it’s most lethal aircraft Sukhoi MKI (Made for India version of original MK) got crashed. It was a shock for many of us who put trust and belief in the mantle of Sukhoi aircrafts and Indian pilots.

There has been long list of fighter aircraft crashes ranging from MIG21, MIG25, and MIG29 to British Jaguar to MIRAGE 2000 and now Sukhoi MKI.
Previously the major cause for crashes was poor supply of spare parts after USSR disunion, but most of the time it was human error.

Indian air force is one of the finest air forces in the world because it has variety of aircraft which are designed and developed for different conditions and it’s a tough job to be a fighter pilot in such an air force.

But because of lack of air crafts much needed for training, pilots are forced to be trained directly on such lethal aircraft like MIG21 in their initial phases of training.

After the hawk aircraft deal with British aircraft company BAE (British Aerospace) it was supposed that pilots would be better trained and these crashes would stop.
But after Sukhoi case it seems that it will take more time to avoid such aircraft crashes.

For the youth in India who have passion and dreams with the aircraft, this one is nightmare.

All we can wish that their will be no more crashes and more genuine efforts will be made in this direction.

WINDOWS 7 coming this october

Windows 7 new operating system by microsoft is launching in this coming october . It has been announced by microsoft that the customers who purchase it during the first month will be offered a free Windows 7 upgrade after the release

WIndows 7 Release Candidate Connection(RC1)
The fresh speculation comes right as Microsoft is letting its Windows 7 Release Candidate out into the wild. Microsoft released Windows 7 RC1 for MSDN and TechNet subscribers on Thursday. The software will be made available for everyone else next Tuesday, May 5.

Gyus you don"t have to wait long for this OS . An apparent copy of the Windows 7 Release Candidate leaked onto file-sharing sites last week. From the looks of it, that might be the more accessible option at the moment, Microsoft has seemingly been suffering some sort of database glitch that's kept developers from successfully downloading the official file. You can check out the trial version of this new operating system easily....Want more info about this ,see"Windows 7 RC Adds New Remote Media Streaming, Virtual Windows XP Mode."

Command Prompt As a Calculator

Hey Folks you can also use your DOS command as a calculator,just follow the below given procedure and you can do all types arithmetic calculations......



There are two methods to do arithmetic calculations in Windows XP. Either open the Microsoft Calculator program (Start -> Run -> calc.exe) or simply open the good old MS-DOS command prompt window (Start -> cmd.exe)


Here's the SET syntax (type set /? )

set /a expression

Here are some examples of the SET command:

C:\>set /a 2+2 will output 4

C:\>set /a 2*(9/2) will output 8

C:\>set /a (2*9)/2 will output 9

C:\>set /a "31>>2" will output 7

The DOS calculator SET is more versatile than the Google Search calculator. It supports the Shift operator (>> or <<) and Octal or Hexadecimal to Decimal conversions.
